The length of the side of the children’s room is square 6 m. The third part of the floor is open, and the rest of the area

The length of the side of the children’s room is square 6 m. The third part of the floor is open, and the rest of the area is covered with a carpet. What is the area of the carpet?

1) Find out the area of the room, since the shape of the room is a square: 6 ^ 2 = 36 m2.
2) The third part of the floor is open, we recognize this part, which is without carpet: 36/3 = 12 m2.
3) The rest of the floor area is covered with carpet, we recognize this area: 36 – 12 = 24 m2.
Therefore, the correct answer is 24 m2.
